As per news report of NDTV, Sources in the party told news agency ANI, deliberations are going on to take a final call on this. It is a tough decision for the ruling Congress as the party made a change of guard in September by giving the command of the state to Charanjit Singh Channi, Punjab's first Dalit chief minister. However, the majority of state leaders believe that the party should choose collective leadership to balance the caste equations in the state. Ahead of polls, the screening committee of Congress in Punjab has held several rounds of meetings with the state leaders, ministers, MLAs and MPs. One of the party leaders, on maintaining anonymity told ANI that they have expressed their desire to party top leaders that the party should go for collective leadership in upcoming polls.
